“America’s Christian history has not been taught in the Christian schools and colleges for over a hundred years. This fact has contributed to the rise of secularism—the “irreligious” spirit—more than any other single educational factor. With few exceptions Christian institutions teach a secular interpretation of history . . . As American and as Christians have moved away from the teaching of history from its original sources they have accepted the interpretations of those who deal with history “seeing only secondary causes and human agencies.” The result has been our separation of history from God as the Author of History. Ignorance then is our enemy—ignorance of the Hand of God in American history. . . . The time has come to strengthen our American Christian homes and to return them to their historic role of building the foundations of America’s Christian character. The Biblical education of the homes of the American Revolution provided the prayerful support for our “ragged Continentals” and enabled them to win our independence from the world’s greatest military power of that day. . . . the blessings of liberty in America cannot be perpetuated unless the principles of that liberty are re-identified and re-affirmed in each generation."
